HONOLULU (AP) β Hawaii has hired Nevada offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich as its head football coach.
Athletic director David Matlin announced the hiring of the former Hawaii quarterback in a news released Friday.
Rolovich played for the Warrior’s in 2000 and ’01 and coached under Greg McMackin from 2008-11. He was the team’s primary play-caller in his final three seasons as a Hawaii assistant. He joined the Nevada staff in in 2012 and has been offensive coordinator for four seasons under Brian Polian.
Hawaii fired Norm Chow earlier this month after he went 10-36 in four seasons. The Rainbow Warriors never won more than four games under Chow. The program last reached a bowl game in 2010, when the Warriors went 10-4 under McMackin.
Hawaii plays its final game Saturday against Louisiana-Monroe.
